Abstract excerpt
The gene of the CD44 cell surface glycoprotein consists of 20 exons. Ten exons known as variant exons are inserted by alternative RNA splicing between exon 5 and 16, thus generating diversity in the extracellular portion of the protein. We have cloned the dog cDNA homologue of the human variant exon region of CD44 and characterized its transcript expression in normal lymphatic tissues. Using PCR with primers...
